List of the writings of Bruno Maddox

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory of every single byline of a magazine writer ever. Otto4711 04:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I totally know!?! OMG, Ronald Reagan has an article?!  Are we now going to have articlez for every President of an institution ever!-BillDeanCarter 22:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Partial merge with Bruno Maddox to list the publications he wrote for, but not each article because that's WP:NOT. YechielMan 04:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I copied and pasted the names of the publications from the list article to the name article to address this concern. Otto4711 05:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete/Merge: Heck, I don't see a lot about Maddox himself that's notable, never mind this non-notable fork. Any sources that satisfy WP:V about Maddox himself?    RGTraynor  16:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Who the hell is Maddox? I've never heard of him.  I don't want to know about what I don't know!  heh heh (i just went for run so me laughs are shorter)-BillDeanCarter 22:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. We can't start listing every single magazine and newspaper article a journalist has written. Croxley 04:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is NOT a Directory, and thats exactly what this article is. Any significant writings by Maddox should be included in his article, the rest should be nuked.  More important authors like Dickens and Hemingway, do not have lists of their writings. The page was created by someone who has a fetish for these pages (similar ones were created for William Monahan and Aaron Sorkin) Black Harry 18:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * nukey nukey nukey!-BillDeanCarter 22:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: user billdeancarter moved the page in an attempt to dodge the debate on this. I moved it back to its original name and replaced the AfD tag on it.  Was this the right step to take?  Also, why do these debates take so long when no one has voted to oppose the deletion? Black Harry 18:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy close That dodging bastard!? Let's burn him!  I don't know who Bruno Maddox is, but let's not find out.  It looks like User:BillDeanCarter (aka me) is trying to hide this list on his user page now.  How nutty is that? AfD rules!, me got me a bumper sticker.-BillDeanCarter 22:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Im not even sure if Bruno Maddox deserves an article, let along a stand alone bibliography 71.255.163.220 02:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, you're an anon but I want to say this. Bruno is from the prestigious Maddox family, all writers and all achievers.  He has written much as a journalist, published an acclaimed and IMO brilliant novel called My Little Blue Dress, not to mention he was editor-in-chief of Spy magazine.  Oh.  Hmmm.  I changed my mind, Caylie42 at MySpace has done so much more with that erupting volcano of hers.  Nuke Bruno Maddox.-BillDeanCarter 04:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:NOT. And in reply to Black Harry - yes, replacing the article and the AfD tag after it was vandalized by BillDeanCarter was the right thing to do. Anyone can place a copy of an article in their own userspace for reference, but they must not move it directly to their userspace. Judging by BillDeanCarter's trolling behaviour here, that page move was intended to be disruptive. Masaruemoto 03:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Dude, I am the farthest thing from a troll. Look at my contributions.  They have had intent, they have had depth.  What have you contributed in terms of actual writing?-BillDeanCarter 04:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep While it seems Mr. Carter is doing his best to get this list deleted, and ought to be a bit more civil here, I fail to see a reason to delete this as a list. Spy Magazine was a noted, even celebrated, publication, and Maddox strikes me as perfectly notable.  And if we're going to write about notable people, best to start with what they've done. Given the brevity of the Maddox article currently, I'd have nothing against merging this in, but as it grows splitting this out is fine, and if someone is working on the article, keeping it separate from the outset strikes me as reasonable.  The only policy I see cited above is that Wikipedia is not a directory, but I fail to see how this qualifies as a directory (index, perhaps, summary, certainly, but now, that's what an encyclopedia has, isn't it?) 38.112.153.190 00:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - completely unnecessary fork of a very unnotable writer whose own article is hardly cluttered with content. Eusebeus 06:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
